I'm back again


I hve tried twice more to install this OS after giving all my details and having my identity verified twice via texted security numbers when I came to the end of registering the blue button (Create Account) would not click to accept my account..
I appreciate the help you have given me on the forum but I have decided not to try any more.
I do wonder if it is full of bugs

Not a problem. Haven't tried it myself, so don't no about the sticking points. Should still be ok with Windows 7/10 32 bit with 2 GB and a cheap SSD if you already have those installed.
I did this with my ACER Netbook that has the same Atom N270 CPU.
Though really only good for browsing.

Obviously an older version, but perhaps the explanations may make it more clear to you.

I have tried twice more to install the OS and after filling in all my details,getting a internet connection and having my identity checked out twice via texted security numbers sent to my mobile phone I found after I finished filling in the registration form the blue create account button would not accept a mouse click.

A message did pop up the exclaimed "WHOOPS SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG "


Here is the end part of the registration

I do still wonder if you are running it on the USB drive whilst signing in and it is just really sluggish initially. So you have to wait a while between each action.

It is a really poor single core CPU. So if running it on a slow HDD and low RAM, all of that will be exacerbated. You'll need to be very patient during the installation.

Yes I know its a poor cpu but it does have a massive 2gb ram (LOL) I increased from the original 1GB when Windows 7 came out and it still ran a bit rubbish.
Looking back you are probably correct in that it was running off the USB and it could not be installed till the registration was done. When I tried and failed (clicking on the create account button) to get a responce I left it turned on for a hour hoping that it may have cleared itself but no such luck. The main problem I think is the registration.
When I get a bit bored with myself I will probably have another go at it.



Forgot to mention it has a Integral 120GB SSD in it

Are you sure that you need to register before you install it to the SSD? I don't think that you do. Install to the SSD as a Guest and then register afterwards.

I did'nt realise that I may be able to install it as a guest I will give it another try in a few days

Thanks
